Curriculum

Introduction

This introductory section sets the stage for the course, providing a comprehensive overview of what you'll learn and the overall structure of the program. The introductory lecture will help you to understand the course's scope and expectations.

Installation and Setup

We start by ensuring you have the right tools. This section guides you through the installation of XAMPP (local server environment) and Visual Studio Code (code editor). These lectures provide step-by-step instructions with screenshots to make the setup process smooth and easy for all skill levels.

Project 1: URL Shortening Service

Build your first project: a functional URL shortening service! This section guides you through creating the database structure, handling URL shortening, database insertion, retrieval, and click counting functionalities. Each step is broken down into manageable segments.

Project 2: Sending Emails with PHP

Learn to integrate email functionality into your web applications. This section covers sending emails using PHP, a crucial skill for many web projects. The lectures show how to set up and configure email sending, and how to integrate it with a PHP-based website.

Project 3: Building a Secure Authentication System

Create a robust and secure authentication system. This involves designing the user interface (UI), handling user registration, implementing secure password hashing and de-hashing (using bcrypt or similar algorithms), and managing user login sessions securely. This is a critical section for web security.

Project 4: Dynamic Comments System with AJAX & jQuery

This comprehensive section focuses on building a dynamic comment system. Learn to create and display posts, add and retrieve comments using AJAX and jQuery for seamless interaction without full page refreshes. You'll also learn how to manage comment deletion and resolve common bugs. This is a substantial project that uses many core concepts from the course.

Project 5: Integrating a Rating System

Enhance your projects with a user rating system. This section shows how to integrate a jQuery plugin, manage ratings, and display ratings dynamically using AJAX. This combines your knowledge of AJAX and jQuery with other projects already built.

Project 6: Building a Live Search System

Create a real-time live search functionality for your web applications. This powerful feature allows users to search your database immediately as they type. You will learn how to implement it for fast and efficient results.

Project 7: Building a Weather App using APIs

This final project integrates an external API to build a weather application. Learn to work with APIs, retrieve weather data, and display it in a user-friendly way, completing your development journey with a practical, real-world application.
